I always use my starter all the way through and past the end of the game, though after the game I may substitute them (and my main team) out for new pokemon I want to train, but I'll still keep periodically going back to my starter. Not to say I haven't ditched any pokemon I started to train, I have occasionally, but never my starter.

I'm sorta back
While I'd always love to talk about anything pokemon, I will only be using the 6th gen Wifi section for a while out of efficiency in my life, unfortunately

PLEASE NOTE: My one and only 3DS friend code is now 0576 3520 6954, it used to be 0688 5572 5678 but I no longer have that DS, delete that old code if you already have it!
thought X/Y were amazing, but the widely revolutionary ORAS makes X/Y look like, well, I guess the original Ruby/Sapphire (which were still awesome) ha ha. in early middle of story line, w/ no choice but to progress fairly slowly. if anyone wants to battle or register me (be sure to tell me iso I can get yours) feel free to!

In Black I used Samurott until I beat the elite 4 and champion then I started Ev training pokemon for wifi and just never used him after. Black 2, I chose Tepig and ditched him after he evolved into Emboar because I wanted to use both Magmar and Arcanine. I don't really care for Emboar so much, first time I liked the Water starter (or any other) over the Fire.

I normally only use my starter pkmn until I find something to replace it with. I chose Snivy in white, evolved it and then find another poke to take its place. I don't find starters unique enough. lol.
But Sceptile, Charizard and Empoleon are more than welcome on my team anytime.

i usually do until about lv 20, when i replace them with better pokemon. in white 2, because we could freely trade with black/white i almost instantly traded away snivy to get a dratini as its much more of a challenge to raise and use at the lower levels. that and the riolu/lucario i caught at the start have since been a staple of my w2 team

in every game i use my starter. it depends if i still keep using after the elite 4 thought. sometimes thers just another pokemon i really want to train, and need to make room in my party for. in this case, bye bye starter.

I generally use them till Max Level then if I'm levelling other pokemon post-game like my Diamond Empoleon, I tend to use him for Surfing/Waterfall. But currently, I'm still using Samurott in White of course, I really like him, one of my fav starters across all the games.
